If single, 4900/mo

    • 2350 after rent + travel
    • 1500 after retirement

If married, 5400/mo

    • 2850 after rent + travel
    • 2000 after retirement
  • rent = 1800/mo ceiling
  • 750 travel savings
    • 250 local & weekends (3000/yr)
    • 250 yearly (3000/yr)
    • 250 every 3 (9000) (or 15,000 every 5 if I want it to coincide with my Sabbatical, re: Epic)
    • Alternately, could eliminate local & weekends, & have that go into housing fund for now, which would boost it to 105,000 by itself (uninvested) after 5 years.
